James Gunn Discusses Constantine 2 Sequel With Keanu Reeves

James Gunn, co-chairman of DC Studios, has been in discussions with Keanu Reeves about a potential sequel to the 2005 film Constantine, with the project likely being a soft reboot rather than a direct continuation. Though Gunn has not yet read any script, Reeves has pitched a treatment for the new film, which aims to align Constantine more closely with the current DC Universe while maintaining its original tone. The original Constantine film, directed by Francis Lawrence, has gained a cult following despite mixed initial reception, and Reeves has expressed a desire for the sequel to avoid excessive action and maintain the character's tortured nature. The project has faced delays, including setbacks due to the writers' strike, and Reeves has reportedly been dissatisfied with earlier script drafts. While details remain limited and it is unclear if other original cast members will return, both Gunn and Reeves seem committed to moving forward with the sequel, which will explore more of John Constantine's story in the same world as the original.
